Yesterday I had a final interview with a company I would love to work for. They have a valuable product, a positive culture and quality people. And the guy I interviewed with seemed like a strong manager and good person. I think the interview went well.
So why do I keep worrying that I am too old? I know that because of my age, I have strengths that can't be shown on my resume. I am more patient but also more persistent than I was 20 years ago. I have greater wisdom about what motivates customers to make decisions and how to engage them in the selling (buying) process. But I also know that taking time off to raise my kids carries a price. I don't regret it, never will, never would go back and do it differently. But now I have to face the fact that I am going to have to continue to fight my way back into credibility.
Either that or I am just a little paranoid about the age thing.
